It’s been a hot, hot minute since I’ve watched a movie in the theater during the week, and it’s been even longer since I watched two back-to-back! Nothing like getting two foreign, independent films in on a work night.

Cleveland International Film Festival – 47
More in person and virtual film festival goodness! This time though, it was a lot closer to home so I was able to participate in the Cleveland International Film Festival in person! Let’s take a look at the few films I checked out over the course of the festival’s run.

Slightly more progress from last week and kind of a hodge-podge of films, but let’s un-pack and see where they landed for me.

Believe it or not, I still had time to cram in a few movies this weekend! Let’s review!
Read more2022 Film Independent Spirit Awards
Awards season continues on with the Film Independent Spirit Awards! I might be partial to this awards show because as a Film Independent member, I was able to vote for the winners!
Read moreThanksgiving Movie Weekend
Not quite as many movies as I’d have hoped for with a four day holiday weekend, but I can’t complain too much. I’ve got some more time off coming up here, so I know I’ll be making up for it.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Aubrey Plaza
I think most people would know Aubrey Plaza from her time on The Office, but I am not one of those people. Yes, you read that right. I am one of the rare few who have never seen The Office. I am more familiar with her comedic and indie film work. That seems to be true for a lot of actors I like. What can I say? Indie films are my jam! With that being said, you’re really missing out if you’ve never seen Ingrid Goes West. It should be standard viewing! Anyway, here’s some artwork honoring this supremely talented actress!
Read moreFilm Independent Spirit Awards
It’s getting down to the wire folks! Usually, the Film Independent Spirit Awards takes place the afternoon before the Oscars, but in this unprecedented time of a pandemic, they switched their usual plan of attack by airing in a prime time slot during the week (a Thursday to be exact). Hey, I don’t care when they air, I promise I’ll be there to watch it. Normally, I would not be catching the Spirit Awards until after the fact, but this year, yours truly was a voting member, so I had to tune in!
Read moreMilwaukee Film Festival and Apple TV+’s On the Rocks
I keep scouring the web for more virtual film festivals and it’s done a great job in providing them to me! Thanks to a stranger on Twitter I found out about the Milwaukee Film Festival, which while it didn’t provide a lot of titles that caught my eye, it did crop up the gem that was I Used to Go Here. I was also equally excited to check out Apple TV+’s latest cinematic offer with Sofia Coppola’s On the Rocks. So that’s what I did last night!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Robert Pattinson
Hot off the presses is my latest drawing of Robert Pattinson! Some of the inspiration for drawing him is due to the upcoming release of the novel, Midnight Sun, by Stephanie Meyer, but it’s also because of all of the other awesome stuff he’s been involved with! Seriously, Twilight has to be the worst movie in his filmography. If you really want to watch him shine I recommend, Little Ashes, Good Time, and Damsel. These are all so eclectic and just awesome! I’m also really looking forward to what’s coming next for him, both indie and blockbuster.
